Thoughts on Stress

Stress can be directly related to self esteem issues because people can get stressed more if they are worrying about things, people lower down in the running of things are more likely to get stressed because they have lower self esteem. a side effect can be depression. Real depression is a mental state of mind which can take a physical tole on you as well. it can be treated with medication, and it can eventually lead to people feeling that they want to die if it's not treated.

Teen Commits Suicide Due to Bullying: Parents Sue School for Sons Death.

By Susan Donaldson James.

April 2nd 2009

SUMMERY

Eric Mohat who was 17 years old committed suicide after being constantly bullied at school and one bully said in the middle of class 'why don't you go home and shoot yourself, no one will miss you'. His parent want to make sure people recognize that their sons death was due tho lack of attention from staff at the school, who ignored all bullying that was being done right in front of them and even in their classes. 

 

BIG MEANING

I think that the big meaning to this article is how the teachers clearly saw what was happening but chose to do nothing about it because it made their lives easier to just ignore it. People tend to take bullying lightly and sometimes dismiss it as normal, when it prehaps shouldnt be viewed that way.

PERSONAL MEANING

I know how it is to feel like nobody can see whats happening, and i think that it is in the end inevitable that you will come to a point when you've had enough. personally i wouldn't consider suicide, but i can see how something like that can easily happen. Bullying can be quite easily dealt with and doesn't have to be a big deal, but sometimes it is just left because it's easier to ignore it. The reason i can relate to this article is that i have considerable experience in how horrible people can be, and i know how much worse it is if you feel like you are on your own.

Stress Video.

The video was good because it showed the similarities between society for baboons and for humans, then shows how your place in society makes you stress. It surprised me how directly stress effects your health. The part in the video where all the alpha monkeys died because they were greedy and bossy and ate all the food that had TB on it was interesting because it changed the way their society worked and the whole group of them became more healthy as a result. Before watching the video i had assumed that stress was all in your head but apparently its not.
